Our Wedding

Michelle and Noah found each other in the Spring of 2019 while working as stage managers on Fairview. When not working the two bonded over sports, a love for games, and a few too many beer/shot combos at The Flamingo. Over that Summer a strong friendship had formed, and towards the end of the Summer that friendship grew into something more. After a brief moment of Michelle referring to Noah as her “not boyfriend” they started dating in September of 2019.    What else could bring two people closer than working countless hours together? The Pandemic of course. In March of 2020 Michelle and Noah packed their bags and headed to New Jersey to stay with Noah’s family for a couple weeks. Those couple weeks of course turned into a couple months. And by May they were headed down to South Carolina to spend time with Michelle’s family. It was during those months spent with each other's families that they truly began to see each other as their own family.   Michelle and Noah finally got a place of their own in 2021. Since then, their apartment has seen a fair share of taco nights, Survivor watch parties, and more books collected than shelves owned. In that apartment, they have experienced career changes, countless Yankee games, and a few mental breakdowns over Eras Tour tickets and the New York Jets. And then, on a quiet morning in October 2023, Noah got down on one knee in their kitchen and asked to do forever together.
